Seriously guys, let’s talk about how gorgeous these shrimp skewers look. They took only 10 minutes to make in the air fryer. 

Indulge in delicious nutty flavors with a hint of cayenne pepper that teases your taste buds as you wait for the heat to kick in, but never does. Only to keep you wanting more and more after each bite. 

How To Make Prawn Sticks In The Air Fryer

This prawn skewers with Thai dipping sauce is a quick and healthy meal! Each shrimp is coated with a dipping sauce that has bold nutty and sweet flavor.

Let’s start with gathering the ingredients. You need just two simple ingredients: the Thai dipping sauce ingredients I previously shared in an earlier post, and shrimp. Other optional choices to include in your shrimp skewers are zucchini, bell peppers, green onions, and cherry tomatoes. 

Be sure that the shrimps at minimum are the large ones – the bigger the better! At the grocery stores in the frozen section, you can easily find 16-20 shrimps in a bag. The shrimps must be deveined and shells removed. 

Once the ingredients are gathered, it’s time to start threading the shrimp and vegetables. 

Why does this recipe work?

You know I love my easy and time saving recipes. Shrimp recipes are extremely easy to make, they are full of protein, light, and healthy. It’s easy to turn shrimps into a meal.
